Officals expect record number for elections

Will Glover
DM Senior Staff writer

Near-record numbers are expected across the state today as Mississippians go to the polls to choose a new governor, lieutenant governor and a multitude of other state and local offices. A proposed constitutional amendment will be on the ballot, as well.

The Candidates

Mississippi Governor

Ronnie Musgrove

Democrat

Ronnie Musgrove is running for governor because of education. The education of his two children, that is.

Musgrove says he wants his children to get a good education and build a career in Mississippi, and as governor, he wants to provide Mississippians with quality education.

Mike Parker

Republican

Mike Parker is the candidate with the downhome political TV advertisements and the wry sense of humor.

A former congressman who represented southwest Mississippi, the Republican candidate for governor wants to "keep moving forward" if he's elected as the state's next governor.
